energy mix. Both renewables and fossil fuels as primary energy sources are
usually not suitable for direct use by end users. These primary sources must
be converted into common secondary energy forms like electricity, heat, or
fuels (diesel, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.) before being either stored or
distributed to end users (see Fig. 1.1). The primary to secondary energy
form’s conversion process takes place in various plants such as fossil fuel and
renewables power plants, biorefineries, chemical processing plants, or heat
recovery by direct combustion. In the last step, the secondary energy form
is distributed to provide energy services in residential, industry, trans-
portation, and commercial sectors.
Among the available types of renewable sources, biomass is a sustainable
alternative to replace fossil fuels. Unlike other primary sources, biomass is
more evenly distributed throughout the world. Biomass is considered CO2
neutral if it can be managed sustainably; therefore, it is crucial to improve
the current bioenergy systems. Biomass resources can be classified into three
types: natural growth, energy crops, and biomass waste. The utilization of
energy crops and biomass waste can avoid potential conflict with food
production or prevent a potential shortage of biomass-based commodities.
As discussed earlier, biomass feedstock as primary energy is not suitable for
direct use by final consumers. They should be utilized to produce secondary
energy forms or energy carriers such as biofuels, heat, or power through
various conversion technologies. Biofuel products can further be classified
according to states of matter as solid (densified biocoal), liquid (such as
ethanol, methanol, biodiesel, dimethyl ether), and gaseous (such as
hydrogen, biomethane).
Innovative integrated systems to efficiently generate electricity or pro-
duce biofuels are required, considering biomass waste’s high potential as an
energy source. Process efficiency simply means the ratio between the useful
output and the input into a process. In the past, efficiency is usually

evaluated using mass and energy balance. However, this approach has the
main disadvantage since the quality of materials and energy flows is not
involved, and no environmental reference is used. Eventually, the concept
of exergy was born based on first (energy) and second (entropy) thermo-
dynamics law [1]. Exergy, a measure of energy quality, is the maximum
amount of work obtainable when a material or process flow is brought to
equilibrium with its environment. Thermodynamic indicators based on
exergy are commonly accepted as the most natural way to measure the
performance of different energy technology processes, chemical engineer-
ing, transportation, agriculture, and so on.
Efficiency improvement of biomass conversion can be performed in a
design strategy using the pinch technology approach. The pinch technol-
ogy’s basic idea is to correctly perform process integration by considering all
the heat transfers occurring in a system to reduce energy consumption. The
method has been adopted in several studies employing biomass feedstocks
for ethylene and ethanol production [2,3], hydrogen production [4], bio-
diesel production [5] including power generation [6]. However, these
studies mostly focused on heat exchanger networks instead of manipulating
the system to make it more efficient; in other words, it is only considering
temperature as a quality parameter.
The book’s main task is to propose and discuss a suitable method of
efficiency improvement by adopting exergy recovery and process integra-
tion technologies. The basic idea of the approach is performing exergy
elevation in a single process before being integrated with other processes via
a heat exchanger network. This idea is substantially different from that of
the pinch technology. An onion diagram can be drawn to show the overall
process design steps (Fig. 1.2). A design process is performed from the inside
to the outside of the “onion.” The core of the whole process is the reaction
layer. Since we focus on an integrated energy system for biomass utilization,
the reactions involved are mainly conversion processes such as drying
(pretreatment), combustion, gasification, steam cycle, combined cycle, and
chemical looping. After a process development, such as physical separation
and reactor design, we can determine the possibility of performing exergy
recovery in each process, including developing the heat exchanger network
(for process integration) and the requirements for heating and cooling.

Figure 1.3 Fuel shares in total primary energy supply (TPES), 2018.
Although among the highest coal producers, China and India were listed as
the top five coal importers together with Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Other top fossil fuel-producing countries are shown in Table 1.1 [12,13].
Fig. 1.4 shows the world’s total final energy consumption by fuel
2001e17. In the last 20 years, the final energy consumption was steadily
rising except in 2009 (fell by 1.1%) due to the global economic recession. It
was recorded as the first decline since 1982. According to the IEA, the total
world final energy consumption was 9717 Mtoe, with the share of fossil
fuels being over 80% in 2017 [14]. With 37 member countries, the OECD
consumes a relatively large proportion of about 38.19% of the total final
energy consumption [14]. In 2018, two-third of the overall increase in the
world’s energy demand was dominated by China, the United States, and
India combined. Those three countries were also top energy consumers,
followed by Russia, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Canada, and Brazil.

9.8%. Although the use of fossil fuel (mostly oil) accounts for the biggest
portion of energy consumption in the transportation sector, the share of
biofuels (mainly ethanol and biodiesel) increased by about 18% between
2013 and 2017.
Many countries such as New Zealand, Germany, Costa Rica, Fiji,
France, Spain, and United Kingdom have national targets to increase
renewable energy use and become carbon-neutral by 2050. Sweden’s
parliament also voted to cut all greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 [16,17].
To achieve those commitments, they must find ways to satisfy national
energy demands by gradually replacing fossil fuels. The European Union
(EU) members set their target to reach 20% total share of renewables in the
power sector by 2020 and at least 32% by 2030 [18]. Among the 28 EU
members, 12 countries have already reached their target to increase re-
newables share, including Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Greece,
Croatia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Finland, and Sweden. The highest
share of renewables in 2018 was recorded by Sweden with more than half
(54.6%), followed by Finland (41.2%), Latvia (40.3%), Denmark (36.1%),
and Austria (33.4%).
The world electricity generation is predicted to be 24,112 TWh and still
dominated by fossil fuel of about 66.12% or 16,000 TWh in 2022 [19]. As
seen in Fig. 1.6A, fossil fuels’ use increases steadily, with coal being the
largest electricity generation source. Renewable electricity generation is
expected to contribute over 8000 TWh (about 34%) in 2022, equal to
China, India, and Germany’s total power consumption. Hydropower will
remain the largest source of renewable electricity generation in the forecast,

¹⁷And all the people went to the house of Baal,
and brake it down, and brake his altars and
his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the
priest of Baal before the altars.
17. the house of Baal] When this was erected is not known,
perhaps under Jehoram (xxi. 6) or Ahaziah (xxii. 3), but it was
doubtless intended for the worship of the Tyrian Baal, for Athaliah
was probably grand-daughter of a Tyrian king (compare 2 Kings viii.
18 with 1 Kings xvi. 31). It is interesting to see that the revolt against
Athaliah in Jerusalem, like the revolution led by Jehu against her
parents, Ahab and Jezebel, in the Northern Kingdom, was fostered,
if not indeed caused, by religious antipathy. At least these passages
are of high value in showing the hold which the worship of Jehovah
had already obtained upon the loyalty of Israel. Court influences,
always powerful in such small states, when cast against the worship
of Jehovah, were unable for long to maintain the struggle against the
national “jealousy” for Him.
the upper gate] compare xxvii. 3, “the upper gate of the house of
the Lord.” In 2 Kings, “by the way of the gate of the guard”
(doubtless one of the gates of the palace). The Chronicler, writing at
a time when the palace had ceased to exist, naturally fixes localities
by reference to the Temple. The gate in question was probably one
in the north wall of the Temple court, referred to in Jeremiah xx. 2 as
“the upper gate of Benjamin.”

hastened it not] In Kings, “in the three and twentieth year of king
Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.”
Such protracted neglect of the repairs of the Temple appears the
more reprehensible (in Kings) since the money was paid at the
Temple, and therefore was actually in the hands of the priests. At the
same time, to the Chronicler, the royal command to use money from
the poll-tax and free-will offerings for the purpose of repairs was an
infringement of the priests’ prerogatives. He therefore relieves the
situation, partly by representing that the money was to be obtained
by a special collection throughout the land, and also by softening the
twenty-three years of inaction into “hastened it not.”

11. at what time ... by the hand of the Levites] This clause is not
in Kings.
14. the rest of the money ... whereof were made vessels for the
house of the Lord] This verse conflicts with 2 Kings xii. 13, 14,
which states that the money gathered was not spent on gold and
silver vessels for the Temple but was given to the workmen who
repaired the house. The lack of such utensils and the paucity of
money implied in Kings was evidently not credited by the Chronicler.
This martyrdom is referred to by our Lord in Luke xi. 51, “from the
blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah who perished between the
altar and the house,” i.e. “the temple” (compare Matthew xxiii. 35).
As Chronicles is the last book in the Jewish Canon, “From Abel to
Zachariah” practically includes the whole Old Testament. In the text
of Matthew Zachariah is called “son of Barachiah” either by a
confusion with Zechariah the prophet contemporary with Haggai, or,
possibly, owing to confusion with a certain Zechariah, son of
Berachiah, mentioned in Josephus (War of the Jews IV. v. 4) as
having been murdered in the Temple by the Zealots, circa 67, 68 a.d.
(see e.g. Weiss, Schriften des N.T., pp. 376, 377).

insistent enforcement of a religious meaning in history.

the conspiracy in Kings.

burdens (i.e. the prophetic rebukes) uttered against him. Compare

all the children of Ephraim] the phrase is added to show that here
the writer has used “Israel” in the sense of the Northern Kingdom.
12. other ten thousand ... carry away alive) Neither this capture
nor the subsequent massacre is mentioned in Kings The huge scale
of the victory may be only a product of the Chronicler’s free
imagination. On the other hand, if any real information were available
outside the canonical books this is the sort of tradition we might
expect to survive, full allowance of course being made for great
exaggeration in the numbers given. Further, it accords with the
sequence of events given in Chronicles, see note on xxvi. 7.
